    51: My First Date Ended in the ER

    2026/05/05 | 1h 5 mins.
    This week on Chris vs. the People, the first dates get truly unhinged (and that might be an understatement). One caller had a medical emergency mid-hookup that turned out to be an extremely rare type of stroke, and somehow that's not even the wildest part of her story. Then a smoke shop overnight worker shares how a socially awkward regular asked her out at 2 a.m….and followed it up by inviting her to go shooting in the middle of nowhere. Finally, a woman recounts the date where her guy showed up with flowers stolen straight from her mom's garden, then proceeded to drink an entire pitcher of sangria alone before peeing on a bush in a parking lot in broad daylight. If you've ever had a bad first date, this episode will make you feel a whole lot better about yourself. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

    50: Chris vs. Joe Santagato

    2026/04/28 | 1h 20 mins.
    For the 50th episode, Chris finally brings on a first guest…and it's none other than Joe Santagato of The Basement Yard. The two dive deep into childhood chaos, terrible first jobs, and the kind of stories you'd only share with someone you actually trust. From accidentally inventing a board game to a limo night gone completely sideways, this episode is packed with moments that are equal parts hilarious and unhinged. Two people who have been on the internet since forever finally sit down together, and it does not disappoint. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!

    49: I Stole My Classmate's Pee to Pass a Drug Test

    2026/04/21 | 55 mins.
    This week's episode is a special 4/20 edition of Chris vs. the People, and the callers absolutely delivered. The first caller takes us back to 2012 when a casual smoke sesh with her sister turned into a front row seat to the dark side of synthetic weed. Then our next caller shares the wildly eventful story of a Feeld app meetup that took an unexpected detour in the middle of a threesome, and somehow still managed to end with breakfast and a ride home. Finally, the last caller reveals how a family drama involving a snitch of a Mormon cousin, a drug test, and one very dedicated acquaintance led to one of the most unhinged acts of teenage resourcefulness ever recorded. Tune in for laughs, a few PSAs, and stories you genuinely could not make up. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there! Stick around for the Patreon after show for even more wild stories.

    48: I Slept With Both of My Bosses

    2026/04/14 | 53 mins.
    This week on Chris vs. the People, the workplace has never looked wilder…and we mean that in every sense of the word. From a summer camp counselor who took her long weekend a little too seriously at the Jersey Shore, to a fast food employee who discovered her manager had a lot more going on than just running a register, these stories will have you equal parts gasping and cackling. Then we close out with Mrs. Diva herself, a woman in corporate America who found a very unconventional way to get home from the company party. It's messy, it's unhinged, and it's exactly what your week needed. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there! Stick around for the Patreon after show for even more wild stories.

    47: My Mom Pooped in a Cup (and Made Me Watch)

    2026/04/07 | 54 mins.
    This week on Chris vs. the People, the callers did NOT come to play. From a mother who made a very questionable decision during a blizzard to a family brawl that ended up in front of a judge, these dysfunctional family stories deliver exactly the chaos Chris lives for. A first communion party takes a humbling turn, and one caller shares a childhood outing that had all the makings of a Lifetime movie and somehow still ended with warm berry pancakes. Buckle up, because this episode goes places, and Chris's reactions make every single moment worth it. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!
